Wild Flora Sneak Preview

Artist Margaret Packam-Leavesley from Loaring Place in Margaret River, gave us a sneak preview of her cow today. Her cow will join all the others in the magnificent Cow Parade later this year. Wild Flora has been sensitively painted with some of the more spectacular native flowers that grow wild on the Wildflower Ridge. All the blocks of land around Loaring Place form the southern end of the Wildflower Ridge, so named because of the diverse wildflowers found on the ridge.

Travellers going through the domestic airport will soon be able to admire all the flowers painted on the cow by Margaret.

About Me

Your hosts are Pamela and Dirk Hos. Both grew up and have spent most of their time in Perth but have lived in Melbourne, Adelaide and Jakarta. After their three children left home to forge their own lives, Pam and Dirk decided it was time to down-size. But to what? Margaret River and running a B&B seemed to come to their minds simultaneously.
